Practice Conversation 1

Kumon	Dogs are friendly, smart, and super duper cute, aren’t they!
	I love playing with them!
	Plus, I’ve been told that I’m like a dog before, you see?
	Chacha, who I play, is full of energy. And I think the side of him that’s a little scatterbrained is adorable~.
	Speaking of which, I see lots of dogs out for walks along the riverbank where I go to play catch.
	I’ll make sure to observe the dogs’ movements and behaviours next time in order to prepare for my role!

Practice Conversation 2

Kumon	The other day, Sakya-san told me that everyone played a game drawing their favourite animals at the daycare where he works.
	Like cats and dogs—and even elephants and giraffes!
	Sakuya-san said everyone drew them really well.
	Sakuya-san mentioned he drew a squirrel, so I asked him to show it to me…
	The eyes were spot on, and the tail was huge and fluffy too!
	It was such an adorable drawing!
	Citron-san, who was looking at it with me, was so into it that he declared he wanted to hang it in their room for a while~.

Kumon	…And there. Nice!
	You’re so pro at catch now, Director!
	Hey, hey. Next, try throwing it with all your might.
	Don’t worry, I’ll be sure to catch it no matter which way it flies. Just believe in me and throw!
	Alright, come at me!
	…Got it!
	Yep, see, I caught it!
	Didn’t I look cool catching it?
	Ehehe, thanks!
	I have so much fun playing catch with you too, Director!
	Alright, I’m throwing next.
	Here it comes~!

Juza	What’re you reading there?
	…A dog reference book?
Kumon	Yep! I’m studying a lot for our upcoming play.
	All dogs, big or small, are just so cute~.
Juza	There’s a lot of different kinds, eh?
Kumon	What type of dog would you be if you were gonna be in our upcoming show, nii-chan?
	A Shepherd? Ah, maybe a Siberian husky would fit too!
	I just know you’d be super cool no matter what kind of dog you are~!
Juza	A dog role, huh… if I was gonna play one, then I’d have to start by searchin’ for a breed.
	…Hm?
Kumon	What’s wrong?
Juza	This dog… kinda looks like Manager, doesn’t it?
Kumon	Woah, it does! It’s called a Komondor.
	The fur reminds me of Manager!
	Hey, hey, doesn’t this Doberman sorta look like Yuzo-san!?
Juza	Yeah. That reliable feelin’ is similar.
Kumon	I wonder if there are dogs that also resemble Tetsuro-san or Rento-san!? Let’s search together~!
Juza	Sure.
